Granite Hill and Of like character
with the Mammoth.

THE TOUGH NUT.
This mine Ia situated about mile
east from Salmon City. An i'm
mense open cut has been run along
| the ledge to a depth of some thirty
feet, showing the vein 70 advantage,
and a shaft sunk some ten feet deep
further up the hill exposing about
four feet Of very superior and rich
rock. This Is q very promising To-
cation. Assays run from $500 TO
ZOO per ton on this vein. The
property isowned by Messrs. Simms,
PeHrce, Forester, GOber, Clark,
Webster, Boone and others.
THE HIDDEN TREASURE.
This mine runs north and south, and
like the others Is In quartzite. The
pitch Of all the mines prO6pected
seems to be the same, about IS de.
grees from the horizontal. The
ledge proper crosses this location,
THE DIAMOND.
Work on this vein has been done at
the line between the two claims.
Two shafts have been sunk, one ten
and the other eighteen feet. A we'll
defined ledge has been ex-
posed in both shafts two feet wide.
The assays run from $l20 to $500 per
ton.
POINTER NINE.
This Is another claim adjoining
the Hidden Treasure and owned by
the same parties, Messrs. Stokes.
berry, Lemon & Co.
HoMEsTAKE NINE.
The Homestake and the four last
named claims adjOin one another.
Considerable work has been done on
this claim. A thirty-fOOt tunnel and
u small shaft twenty feet deep has
shown an immense outcr0p from
twenty-five to thirty feet wide, of u
fine grade Of quartz, with from two
to three feet In one place Of the high
grade rock. Very satisfactory as
says are obtained In all workings
OF the mine, and some of the rock
shows returns OF over $4,000 per ton.
Messrs. Pearce and FORESTER are the
owners of this mine.
THE WELLINGTON
Lies to the east Of and adjoining the
Homestske. Here but little work Is
done, yet an immense OutcrOp of
fine ore is shown.
THE SALMON RIVER CHIEF.
This is another claim similarly
conditioned as to development and
outcrop as Is the Wellington.
THE LONE STAR.
This claim Is on the opposite bank
of the Salmon to the Pointer and
Hidden Treasure, but really in the
same group. A tunnel and incline
have been run to q distance OF fifty
feet, all In good quartz with seams
of rich ore. Mr.. Lawrence is the
locator.
THE MOTHER LODE.
Crossing the south fork of Salmon
we come upon the great lode which
Is so remarkably defined and SO ex.
tensively located. Commencing at
the north end of the lode as far as
discovered, we find the two claims,
THE BLUE BIRD AND WAR EAGLE.
Nothing in the way OF develop
ment has been made upon them
other than to expose the vein, strong
and continuous and carrying high
grade ore.
THE IDAHO.
This is the first claim on the lode
south from and adjoining the War
Eagle. Quite shaft has been sunk
and very good ore discovered, grow
Ing better as work progresses.
THE POoRMAN.
This adjoins the Idaho ON the south,
but across gulch and In the same
great mountain that the remainder
OF the claims on this lode are made.
a shaft has been sunk on the ledge
to depth Of twenty feet, showing
1t well defined and about five feet
wide uniformly the entire depth of
the shaft. The owners claim that
the ore runs as high as $500 per ton.
The outcrop from this points on
through three claims to the First
Thought is bold and continuous.
The pitch is slightly to the west
while In the other claims on the lead
IL Is to the east. Additional work
may show the pitch to be the same
in all.
THE FAIRvIEW
Is situated south of and adjoining
the Po0rman, and all the character.
istics are similar. More work has
been done on this claim by q few
feet and consequently better show.
ing made. The vein Is strong, with
a heavy tale casing, or gouge. The
owners are Will Singleton, Clunen,
and Tom Fuller.
THE CLEOPATRA.
This Is O fractional claim ON the
loda, now owned by Messrs. Thom-
ason, Clark, Pfunder & Co. No par.
ticular development has been made,
but the vein Is distinctly traceable
into the First Thought shaft, and
from its position alone would be
very valuable.
THE FIRST THOUGHT.
This claim was located last sum.
mer by Messrs. Dick Bilderbeck,
Pat McGree and John Klidosky.
The mine has been under bond to
Chicago parties for six months at
the price Of $4,000. Work has been
prosecuted all winter and sixty.
foot deep shaft has been sunk. The
